Battery Life

Approximately 3.5 to 7 hours when using Nintendo 3DS software

Approximately 7 to 12 hours when using Nintendo DS software

Depending on the brightness of the screens, the Battery life varies. When the "automatic brightness adjustment" is on, the brightness of the screens changes automatically in accordance with the brightness of the surroundings and, therefore, the Battery life becomes longer in dark places and becomes shorter in bright places. Also, when the "energy saving mode" is on, the Battery life becomes longer.

The above Battery lifes are rough indications and can be shorter depending on usage.
